inDrive also remained the world’s second most downloaded ride-hailing app, underscoring growing user interest in its mobility superapp potential.
With over four million installations in 2025 alone, inDrive ranked fourth among the most downloaded travel apps in the Philippines, according to market intelligence firm Sensor Tower. This ranking underscores Filipino users’ growing demand for inDrive to expand beyond ride-hailing as it evolves into a mobility superapp.
inDrive also remained the world’s second most downloaded ride-hailing app for the fourth straight year. It climbed from fifth to fourth place among the top travel apps globally and topped the category in Pakistan, Peru, Egypt, Morocco, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama, and Zimbabwe.
Reflecting on this milestone, inDrive Founder and CEO Arsen Tomsky said, “This recognition reflects the trust people place in our platform and the continued dedication of our global team. As inDrive evolves into a superapp, we remain focused on our core principles of fairness, transparency, and user choice while expanding access to services that make a meaningful difference in people’s daily lives.”
Full speed ahead as inDrive evolves into a superapp
With inDrive growing its user base year on year, the app has begun expanding its services beyond ride-hailing in key markets. Among these new offerings is inDrive.Ads, an in-app advertising platform. By generating new income streams, inDrive aims to keep its take rate among the lowest in the industry while supporting long-term sustainability for riders, drivers, and local communities.
Now live in 20 countries, including the Philippines, inDrive.Ads plans to expand to all global markets within the year. On inDrive.Ads, advertisements appear across various screens in the funnel and include multi-dimension banners featuring graphics and animation, with built-in transparent measurement tools.
Tomsky said, “Diversifying our business with a high-margin stream like Ads is an important step for inDrive. This new line gives us more flexibility to fund affordability at scale.”
Sofia Guinto, inDrive Philippines country representative, echoed similar sentiments, saying, “inDrive.Ads is our way of championing fairness and accessibility across all facets of our superapp. Through this, we can maintain fares that are both affordable for passengers and lucrative for our drivers, and create equal opportunities for more people and brands.”
Beyond the global launch of inDrive.Ads, inDrive has expanded into intercity transportation, courier and grocery delivery, and financial services in other markets. These new services use artificial intelligence and predictive analytics to address mapping gaps, improve ETA accuracy, anticipate user needs, and personalize solutions. Through these AI-powered offerings, inDrive continues to drive innovation while giving users freedom of choice in every ride.
Throughout the rest of 2026, inDrive will continue updating its features and growing its user base as it positions itself as a true mobility superapp. Amid this shift, it says all rollouts will be built around fairness, opportunity, and people’s real needs.
